I think this is a book I'll have to give a go at reading because I can't tell if it would actually be something I would enjoy. From your review it sounds absolutely fascinating, but I'm not a big fan of physics and math and such. But great review! You certainly have me intrigued.

Thank you for a great review! Between the review and the sample chapter, I can hardly wait to read it. Although this is shown as Book 3 I felt it was a standalone from what I read.

Usually, the subject matter of this book wouldn't be my type of thing, but thanks to how it is described in the review I am willing to take a chance. And I believe I won't be disappointed))

What a unique idea to defend dinosaurs' existence in the court! I wander now, what was the verdict. That makes me think... Funny to be of age when the things you've learned at school can be already seen as questionable. Like the number of continents or planets.

This has to be one of the most exciting books that has made book of the day in a while. It's refreshing to hear about a boom that is full of factual, educational information. I think readers could learn a lot from this book including court proceedings and the history behind the dinosaur tales in general. I'll be praying I win a free copy of this book. Thanks!

I love courtroom drama. But I'm not sure about this case. The premise sounds like the flat earthers claim. I still want to read this though as it has caught my curiosity. Thanks for your review!

I like the concept of the book, although I grew up Creationist and thought dinosaurs were really just dragons and we slew them all to extinction, this story and the enthusiastic review make me interested in it.

What really got me hooked is this portion:
It deals with questioning thoughts that have been implanted in us since childhood.
Oh yeah! Now, I REALLY wanna read this book.

Terrific review!

I liked the sample I read, though I felt some of the dialogue was a little stiff, and I'm certainly intrigued by the premise. Definitely on the reading list.

This is an intriguing question that I would love to get the answer.
Are dinosaurs real or are they perhaps an elaborate hoax?
Additionally, I've never tried legal novels and this gives me a reason to consider the book. Thank you for your insightful review.

This book sure sounds like an exciting read as the reviewer is clearly taken by it. I sure wonder how the whole court drama to prove if dinosaurs exist or not. As I actually wonder the same thing myself. Congrats to the author for winning BOTD.

Excellent review!
Your enthusiasm is contagious. I definitely was thinking about reading the book up until I crossed the words "law of physics and Mathematics".
Sounds like an intriguing read but I don't think I would finish reading it.

Great review!

From a sampling, this was an interesting novel that focuses on lawyers, dinosaurs and a lawsuit. For those interested in legal fiction, this is worth a look. Well done.
